Dunelm has reduced the price of its Kempton Shoe Storage Bench from £79 to £63.20. Available in oak or white finishes, the bench includes a padded seat cushion and eight storage compartments, designed to minimise hallway clutter.
The product description on the Dunelm website states: 'Perfect as a hallway storage solution, the Kempton Shoe Bench has eight storage compartments to help keep your space clutter free and gives you a dedicated space to tidy away shoes. This shoe bench also features a padded seat cushion and is available in a White, Light Oak or Walnut finish so will suit any style of home.'
Shopper Reviews Praise Sturdiness and Ease of Assembly
Shoppers have rated the bench 4.6 out of five on average, with many highlighting its easy assembly. One review said: 'Recently bought this for our porch and it's perfect!' Another commented: 'Excellent product for the money, easy to assemble, good capacity, sturdy and it looks good.'
A third fan wrote: 'Good quality, heavy shoe bench. Looks good and was easy to assemble. Good sized spaces for most adult shoes. Perfect for what we needed in the hall, oak is a versatile colour.' A fourth added: 'Love this shoe bench, actually use it as a sofa table (without the padded seat). Very sturdy, great quality for the price and obviously versatile. I use the shoe storage beneath for books and crafts - perfect!'
Considerations for Boot Storage
One shopper noted a limitation: 'Arrived before scheduled date. Easy to assemble and looks good in hallway. Sturdy. Will buy another. Only downside is not tall enough to fit boots in but can use the top if not used a seat.' This suggests the bench is best suited for smaller footwear like trainers or sandals.
Alternative Storage Options
For a different look, Dunelm also offers a 6 Drawer Faux Linen Foldable Ottoman in ten colours, which doubles as a footrest. Dusk has reduced its Hattie Storage Bench to £161, featuring a lift-up lid for hidden storage of shoes or throws.
